Canadian Maple

A pale, creamy hardwood with a fine, even grain and a clean, understated character. Canadian Maple is hard, dense, and reliable, making it one of the classic choices for chopping boards, butcher blocks, and kitchen surfaces that see real daily use. Its light colour gives a crisp, modern feel, while the smooth grain keeps the focus on the shape and finish of the piece.

Common questions

How hard is Canadian Maple?

Canadian Maple measures Janka 1,450 — hard enough to take daily knife work and last for years with a little care.

How do I care for a Canadian Maple chopping board?

Hand-wash it, dry it standing on edge, and re-oil with a food-safe oil when the surface starts to look dry. Never put it in the dishwasher. The full routine is in our care guide.

Is a Canadian Maple board food-safe?

Yes. Every board is finished with a food-safe oil and nothing else, so the surface is safe for food preparation. Canadian Maple itself is a close-grained hardwood well suited to kitchen use.
